Great view for sure Nancy.. I think I'm right in saying that Higham Cottages get their water from a well under the Low.. I worked on one of the roofs there a few years back and water was flowing from an overflow pipe into a bath... the owner went on to explain about their water and where it came from... it was tested at regular intervals. It seems Werneth Low acts as a filter for their water.

Talking About being able to see for miles, the best time to go up there's on a bright and frosty winter's day. From near the War Memorial if you look West you can see six cooling towers on the horizon. That's Fiddlers Ferry power station near Widnes. If you look a bit more to the South on a really, really clear day you can see the mountains of North Wales. And if you go to the end of Lord Derby Road and continue up the dirt track almost as far as Hillside Road, again on a really clear day you can see the Jodrell Bank radio telescope, though you might need a pair of binoculars, or a camera with a big telephoto lens to be able to recognise it. I've been waiting for a really clear day to see if I can get a decent photo of it.

Tom, Dave, Paul and I would like to say thank you to everyone for contributing to this blog in some small way - even if that means just reading it! It's been more of a success than we could ever have dreamt of and that's all down to you ! It was our intention to get Hyde "on the record" as it were and it seems to be heading in the right direction. We are very proud of Hyde and would like it's history to live on!
